Shamrock in the middle with all the little teacher details tucked around it on cream or white linen. Theres an apple sitting at the top, a pencil crossing one of the leaves diagonally, and a small stack of books sitting at the base where the stem meets the ground. The whole thing is kinda just designed for classroom use and honestly it works really really well as a decor piece rather than something you stitch on a shirt. Framed hoops, pennants, small fabric panels for a classroom wall, thats where it shines.
12 colours in total and Im gonna be honest, that sounds like alot but the digitising keeps em organised cleanly. Green carries the shamrock. Red fills the apple. Yellow for the pencil. Tan and cream for the book spines. White highlight dots on the apple and the top leaf. Black outlines tie everything together. Density figures land 9k to 23k stitches across the five sizes, so density is actually quite light for how detailed the design looks. Wilcom EmbroideryStudio did the underlay work and it shows in how flat the fills sit.
One customer last spring framed the 5-inch in an 8-inch hoop, left the raw edge, and hung twelve of em down a classroom wall as a march display. She said the kids kept stopping to look at the apple one. I was suprised how good it looked in the photos she sent because the linen background really let each colour breathe. Pair it with a green ribbon border on the hoop for even more classroom-friendly style.
Stitch on cream or white linen for the cleanest colour read. Use a tearaway stabiliser on woven fabric or a light cutaway on canvas backing if youre mounting it to a display board. Hoop properly and run slow on the colour changes because with 12 colour stops you want each one to land clean. Avoid knit fabric here, the fine details in the pencil and book sections wont hold on jersey. Woven cotton or linen backing is really the only fabric that keeps all 12 colour areas sitting flat and clean.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
